This adds sha1_file_size() helper function and uses it in the

4a62b61939 [PATCH] Handle deltified object correctly in git-*-pull family.
When a remote repository is deltified, we need to get the
objects that a deltified object we want to obtain is based upon.
The initial parts of each retrieved SHA1 file is inflated and
inspected to see if it is deltified, and its base object is
asked from the remote side when it is.  Since this partial
inflation and inspection has a small performance hit, it can
optionally be skipped by giving -d flag to git-*-pull commands.
This flag should be used only when the remote repository is
known to have no deltified objects.

Rsync transport does not have this problem since it fetches
everything the remote side has.

5180cacc20 Split up unpack_sha1_file() some more
Make a separate helper for parsing the header of an object file
(really carefully) and for unpacking the rest. This means that
anybody who uses the "unpack_sha1_header()" interface can easily
look at the header and decide to unpack the rest too, without

It's for people who aren't necessarily interested in the whole
unpacked file, but do want to know the header information (size,

For example, the delta code can use this to figure out whether
an object is already a delta object, and what it is a delta
against, without actually bothering to unpack all of the actual
data in the delta.

67574c403f [PATCH] diff: mode bits fixes
The core GIT repository has trees that record regular file mode
in 0664 instead of normalized 0644 pattern.  Comparing such a
tree with another tree that records the same file in 0644
pattern without content changes with git-diff-tree causes it to
feed otherwise unmodified pairs to the diff_change() routine,
which triggers a sanity check routine and barfs.  This patch
fixes the problem, along with the fix to another caller that
uses unnormalized mode bits to call diff_change() routine in a
similar way.

Without this patch, you will see "fatal error" from diff-tree
when you run git-deltafy-script on the core GIT repository
itself.

53d4b46085 [PATCH] mkdelta enhancements (take 2)
Although it was described as such, git-mkdelta didn't really attempt to
find the best delta against any previous object in the list, but was
only able to create a delta against the preceeding object.  This patch
reworks the code to fix that limitation and hopefully makes it a bit
clearer than before, including fixing the delta loop detection which was
broken.

This means that

	git-mkdelta sha1 sha2 sha3 sha4 sha5 sha6

will now create a sha2 delta against sha1, a sha3 delta against either
sha2 or sha1 and keep the best one, a sha4 delta against either sha3,
sha2 or sha1, etc.  The --max-behind argument limits that search for the
best delta to the specified number of previous objects in the list.  If
no limit is specified it is unlimited (note: it might run out of
memory with long object lists).

Also added a -q (quiet) switch so it is possible to have 3 levels of
output: -q for nothing, -v for verbose, and if none of -q nor -v is
specified then only actual changes on the object database are shown.

Finally the git-deltafy-script has been updated accordingly, and some
bugs fixed (thanks to Stephen C. Tweedie for spotting them).

This version has been toroughly tested and I think it is ready
for public consumption.

f345b0a066 [PATCH] Add -B flag to diff-* brothers.
A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.

When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation.  This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.

The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.

As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used.  For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:

    The original change looks like this:

	file0     --> file0' (quite different from file0)
	file1     --> /dev/null

    After diffcore-break runs, it would become this:

	file0     --> /dev/null
	/dev/null --> file0'
	file1     --> /dev/null

    Then diffcore-rename matches them up:

	file1     --> file0'

The internal score values are finer grained now.  Earlier
maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user
visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

9d429ff6ff [PATCH] diff: further cleanup.
When preparing data to feed the external diff, we should give
the mode we obtained from the caller, even when we are dealing
with a file with 0{40} SHA1 (i.e. the caller said "look at the
filesystem"), since the mode passed by the caller via
diff_addremove() or diff_change() is always trustworthy.

This is _not_ a bugfix --- the existing code stat() on the file
ifself and does the same computation on st.st_mode to compute
the mode the same way the caller did to give the original mode.
We cannot remove the stat() call from here, but the extra
computation to create the mode value is unnecessary.

have to stay similarity index forever and there is no reason to

6af1f0192f [PATCH] Rewrite ls-tree to behave more like "/bin/ls -a"
This is a complete rewrite of ls-tree to make it behave more
like what "/bin/ls -a" does in the current working directory.

Namely, the changes are:

 - Unlike the old ls-tree behaviour that used paths arguments to
   restrict output (not that it worked as intended---as pointed
   out in the mailing list discussion, it was quite incoherent),
   this rewrite uses paths arguments to specify what to show.

 - Without arguments, it implicitly uses the root level as its
   sole argument ("/bin/ls -a" behaves as if "." is given
   without argument).

 - Without -r (recursive) flag, it shows the named blob (either
   file or symlink), or the named tree and its immediate
   children.

 - With -r flag, it shows the named path, and recursively
   descends into it if it is a tree.

 - With -d flag, it shows the named path and does not show its
   children even if the path is a tree, nor descends into it
   recursively.

This is still request-for-comments patch.  There is no mailing
list consensus that this proposed new behaviour is a good one.

The patch to t/t3100-ls-tree-restrict.sh illustrates
user-visible behaviour changes.  Namely:

 * "git-ls-tree $tree path1 path0" lists path1 first and then
   path0.  It used to use paths as an output restrictor and
   showed output in cache entry order (i.e. path0 first and then
   path1) regardless of the order of paths arguments.

 * "git-ls-tree $tree path2" lists path2 and its immediate
   children but having explicit paths argument does not imply
   recursive behaviour anymore, hence paths/baz is shown but not
   paths/baz/b.

f0c6b2a2fd [PATCH] Optimize diff-tree -[CM] --stdin
This attempts to optimize "diff-tree -[CM] --stdin", which
compares successible tree pairs.  This optimization does not
make much sense for other commands in the diff-* brothers.

When reading from --stdin and using rename/copy detection, the
patch makes diff-tree to read the current index file first.
This is done to reuse the optimization used by diff-cache in the
non-cached case.  Similarity estimator can avoid expanding a
blob if the index says what is in the work tree has an exact
copy of that blob already expanded.

Another optimization the patch makes is to check only file sizes
first to terminate similarity estimation early.  In order for
this to work, it needs a way to tell the size of the blob
without expanding it.  Since an obvious way of doing it, which
is to keep all the blobs previously used in the memory, is too
costly, it does so by keeping the filesize for each object it
has already seen in memory.

rename/copy or running pickaxe.

15d061b435 [PATCH] Fix the way diffcore-rename records unremoved source.
Earier version of diffcore-rename used to keep unmodified
filepair in its output so that the last stage of the processing
that tells renames from copies can make all of rename/copy to
copies.  However this had a bad interaction with other diffcore
filters that wanted to run after diffcore-rename, in that such
unmodified filepair must be retained for proper distinction
between renames and copies to happen.

This patch fixes the problem by changing the way diffcore-rename
records the information needed to distinguish "all are copies"
case and "the last one is a rename" case.
